Re: Super Easy ...Organizing Your Stash!!!!

I don't have ACDsee either, but I do often search "string" or "button" or "star" and find things for filling in on the LOs, so I LOVE when designers label their elements accordingly!

I've been using the search for elements, but I LOVE having ACDSee for my templates. I have (well, had) all of my templates tagged for the number of photos so it was easy to find a template with 2 photo spots, for example. It was a REAL time saver!

Re: Super Easy ...Organizing Your Stash!!!!

Yeah when I unzip my templates I put the number of photo in the name of the template, so if the template had 4 photos, it would say 04_DesignerName_TemplateName

No need to rename for ACDSee,
In the catalog of categories...I have:
Templates
- 1 photo
- 2 photos
- 3 photos
- 4 photos
- 5 + double pages
just drag to template to tag in correct photo number. When opening that photo number , one can view all templates assigned with that number of pics.

Yes I do, it really takes like no time (after the initial renaming all my "older" templates before I started this system). I unzip, take an extra 10 sec to rename the 4 (usually) templates in there. Most designers already name them with the DesignerName_TemplateSet naming that I like, so I just add an 04_ or whatever to the beginning.

As far as ACDsee goes, sounds nice, but I'm cheap and don't like to buy extra stuff! LOL
